Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 135 - Hose’s Pistol

Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Hose’s Pistol

The Original Secret Medicine School pursues the replication, reenactment, and benign transformation of the natural and primitive.

Thus, the materials required for their secret medicine formulas, as well as the abilities conferred upon successful concoction, also tend towards that aspect.

However, the materials before him were clearly the opposite.

What Tang Qi could see were distortion, destruction, and chaos. Although the materials were evidently gathered haphazardly, the collectors still unconsciously followed the principles of their own school, basing them on that kind of extraordinary power, which just so happened to be the antithesis of the Original Secret Medicine School.

Take, for instance, the eyeball of the Flash Spirit Monkey; the collector must have forcibly plucked it out while the monkey was alive.

This could preserve the extraordinary power to the greatest extent and infuse an indescribable force into it.

...

But such materials are completely contrary to the Original Secret Medicine School.

Even if they also required the “Flash Spirit Monkey’s eyeball,” the Original School would never choose such a painful method of extraction.

“Ideas differ, and thus the flavors all change.”

Tang Qi silently sighed in his heart, then stood up and left the first stall.

In order not to waste time, Tang Qi did not meander any further and directly proceeded to the next stall.

Next, Tang Qi really had his eyes opened.

Different from the Blue Bear Park night market, the goods for sale here were almost all of the extraordinary kind, or at least had a touch of it.

The market organizer’s verification was indeed effective.

Tang Qi saw all kinds of strange and unusual things. Most of them were secret medicine materials, casting materials, and antiques.

Of course, there was also an abundance of fakes mixed in.

Unlike the first stall, although the principles were opposite, the materials sold were genuine and authentic.

If a novice secret alchemist came here, they might get very excited, only to be swindled.

But Tang Qi was different.

With a special ability, no one could cheat him.

Quickly browsing through one stall after another, Tang Qi also took an interest in many secret medicine materials, mostly centered on rare plants.

But Tang Qi did not make a move just yet, for a very simple reason: it was wise to shop around.

Extraordinary transactions also had to follow this iron law. Tang Qi may be wealthy, but he was not someone to be easily taken advantage of.

Moreover, most of the transcendent beings setting up stalls here were newcomers, and the market had just started to take shape, with many aspects not yet mature.

For instance, these transcendents lacked a clear understanding of the value of their goods, which led them to overestimate them, often well beyond their actual worth.

Sigh!

Enshrouded in mist, Tang Qi stepped into another stall.

Huh?

As soon as he saw the stall owner, Tang Qi couldn’t help but show a look of surprise. What appeared before him was not a person.

It was an old man dressed like an explorer, appearing travel-worn, with an ordinary face and snowy-white beard, but his eyes were very bright. Most importantly, his body was transparent and floating in the air.

A ghost!

Tang Qi instantly understood and the Information Fragment that flashed across the bottom of his eyes confirmed this point: this was a ghost with wisdom and freedom. He quickly remembered what the Big Man had said before—this market, in addition to welcoming transcendents, also opened its arms to those intelligent abnormalities.

Clearly, the one before him was an “abnormality stall owner.”

Tang Qi was surprised for a moment but then refocused his gaze, looking straight at the ground, at the ghost stall owner’s wares.

Unsurprisingly, they were antiques.

Various items, seemingly still bearing the scent of soil, both big and small, filled the area. Most crucially, at least half of them had a ghostly glow.

Tang Qi’s interest was immediately piqued as he casually picked one to examine.

It was a small handgun stained with blood, and the ghost light upon it was rather dense.

[Curios: Hose’s Handgun.]

[State: Damaged.]

[Information Fragment One: The sidearm of an infamous, blood-stained bandit who used this gun to kill dozens. After being lynched by an enraged public, all his resentment condensed within the handgun, and fresh blood can restore its mechanical functions.]

[Information Fragment Two: Its side-effect is that the user will continually suffer the entanglements and torments of Hose, and those of a weak will might go mad after being in contact for over an hour; additionally, each shot requires a substantial offering of fresh blood, and after ten shots, the user will die directly.]

“This is a vengeful weapon; just smear it with fresh blood, and its power will definitely satisfy you.”

“1,000 Divine Grace Coins, or equivalent value in Extraordinary Items, and we can make a deal.”

A gentle yet deceitful voice entered Tang Qi’s ears.

From the Ghost Stall Owner, who had noticed Tang Qi assessing its wares and likely thought business was coming its way.

Unfortunately, Tang Qi just shook his head and averted his gaze—the side effects were too severe.

Besides, he already owned Blood Python One, and in terms of power, this so-called “Hose’s Handgun” was definitely no match for the Blood Python.

At this moment, Tang Qi also had a vague idea of how this Ghost Stall Owner came across these Curios antiques—a wise Ghost was quite convenient for excavation work, although this one probably spent most of its time digging up other people’s graves.

So, the items on the stall, either blood-stained or smelling of soil, were indeed Curios, but each one came with particularly conspicuous side effects.

Tang Qi saw through them at a glance. If an ignorant young greenhorn came along, they might be hoodwinked by this Ghost Stall Owner, and while they might initially gain powerful combat strength, over time, losing their life was practically inevitable.

A black-hearted, evil Ghost!

With this judgment made, Tang Qi turned and walked away.

Even though they were Curios with huge side effects, if used correctly, they could still be quite effective. What made Tang Qi so decisive was the Ghost’s exorbitant asking price.

A broken handgun, and it dared to ask for 1,000 Divine Grace Coins! It would not be easy for Tang Qi to get the better of it.

With this thought, Tang Qi continued to the next stall.

After that, things were pretty standard. There were stalls of Human Transcendents as well as wise Abnormalities, and all sorts of materials or Curios were available.

However, nothing especially exciting appeared for Tang Qi. Most of the items were not very valuable, similar to the Low-level Witchcraft Products he had obtained from Old Morgan.

A round of searching cost Tang Qi nearly an hour.

In his mind, he was already forming some plans.

He had set his sights on quite a few Secret Medicine Materials that were usable by the Original Secret Medicine School, and they were all “Formula Main Medicines,” the kind that were difficult to find in normal times.

Now with the opportunity, Tang Qi did not plan to miss it.

However, he had no intention of trading through bartering his items. He possessed Curios from both Old Morgan and Abu, including some Low-level Witchcraft Products, which he considered as part of his collection—Human Skin Ointment, Serland’s Dual Blades, Eternal Wine, Tilos Dice, Blar Viper Drum… and so on.

These witchcraft products, if given a chance, Tang Qi would sell, but not now.

And his collection, Tang Qi did not plan to touch.

As for those prepared Secret Medicines, had it not been for this trip, Tang Qi might have recklessly sold them.

But now, Tang Qi was starting to have some realizations.

Things like Secret Medicine, which clearly provide Extraordinary Power without side effects, were definitely scarcer and more precious than bullets.

The batch of Secret Medicine he had prepared at home, Tang Qi had to maximize their benefits and definitely could not just sell them at any stall.

With these thoughts in mind, Tang Qi made his decision.

He would purchase the materials with Divine Grace Coins, as he still had that massive “golden ball,” so he needn’t worry about finances for the time being.
